I want to be a good example for my son. That's the best way to parent - to be the example of what you want to see in them. That's definitely how my parents parented and how my grandparents parented. And it works.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Parents should be the most important examples for their children.
Why do I have to be an example for your kid? You be an example for your own kid.
The best kind of parent you can be is to lead by example.
As a parent, you have to figure out how to shape your kid's character. You want to have human beings who learn about good character. You have to be able to see your child with clarity, see the good side and the bad side of them, and work on the bad side and make them better so they fulfill their potential.
I just want to be a great example to younger kids.
My father once said about being a parent that it is the only thing you do that requires a very long period of learning, and at about the time that you are becoming competent, you don't need the skills anymore. Notwithstanding this modest assessment of their parenting skills, they were wonderful parents.
Parents must lead by example. Don't use the cliche; do as I say and not as I do. We are our children's first and most important role models.
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
I may never know what type of effect I have on my sons, just like Granny never knew the effect she had on me. So I just try and make the best decisions that I can, be the best father that I can.
I am a daughter. My father is an example for me.
